I stopped in at the Smokey Point Drivers licence office today to get my Enhance DL for travel to Canada. As I got there I was sure it was going to be a good day... as I spotted a Unicorn! Against one of the back walls was a young woman openly carrying a sidearm. I didn't get to chat with her, but it's always nice to see someone else exercising their rights.
Of course being a Saturday, lines were long so I took a seat, and started reading a magazine (Gun News). After sitting there for about an hour I was approaced by the supervisor (who would NOT give me her name) and told I could not have a gun inside the Drivers Licence office and I would have to leave. She told me that she checked with Olympia to verify her response.
I tried to convince her otherwise, but it was a loosing battle, and rather than be trespassed and have the state patrol called, I left.
I beleive this is in direct violation of state law and intend to file a complaint, as soon as I figure out who to compain to and exactly what to say.
I should add that as I left, I noticed that the woman that was also carrying a firearm was no longer there. I do not know if she left on her own accord or was told to leave.
